About the Book:
This book introduces the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), a highly effective methodology for scaling Agile practices across large organizations. SAFe goes beyond traditional frameworks, offering businesses a more interactive and flexible approach to system development, empowering organizations to achieve better agility, enhanced systems, and improved business outcomes. The book covers integrated principles, practices, and competencies necessary to achieve business agility through Lean, Agile, and DevOps.

The book dives into the concepts of version control systems, particularly Git, and provides a comprehensive guide on using GitHub to set up projects. It includes detailed instructions on basic Git commands and effective version control techniques. The latter part of the book focuses on one of the most important metrics in Agile management—Jira, developed by Atlassian. It explains how to set up Jira Cloud, create tickets, manage sprints, and organize teams for better project management.

This book serves as a complete knowledge base for practitioners who wish to integrate SAFe practices into their organizations and efficiently use Agile tools like Git and Jira to streamline workflows.
